The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've got to do it all yourself
In the end there ain't no-one else
To give you strength enough to start
Be sure in mind, be pure in heart
‘Cause you've got to do it all yourself
You've got to make that call
Stand up straight and tall
You've got to fight that fall
That long low slide
Like a strong ebb tide
It can wash you out to sea
Don't let it get me
You've got to do it all yourself
Don't rely on no-one else
To get those things that you say done
If you've got a woman
Try to live two for one
But you've got to do it all yourself
You've got to make that call
Stand up straight and tall
You've got to fight that fall
That long low slide
Like a strong ebb tide
It can wash you out to sea
But don't let it get me
It can wash you out to sea
But don't let it get me
It can wash you out to sea
Don't let it get me
It can wash you out to sea
Adrift in the water
Away from the shoreline
Away from your lifeline
Alone on a freeway
Alone on a subway
Alone in the airways
You've got to do it all alone
